Question : $B_{1}$ is a point on the side AC of $\Delta ABC$ and $B_{1}B$ is joined. A line is drawn through A parallel to $B_{1}B$ meeting BC at $A_{1}$ and another line is drawn through C parallel to $B_{1}B$ meeting AB produced at $C_{1}$. Then:

Option 1: $\frac{1}{CC_{1}}-\frac{1}{AA_{1}}=\frac{1}{BB_{1}}$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{CC_{1}}+\frac{1}{AA_{1}}=\frac{1}{BB_{1}}$

Option 3: $\frac{1}{BB_{1}}-\frac{1}{AA_{1}}=\frac{2}{CC_1}$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{AA_1}-\frac{1}{CC_1}=\frac{2}{BB_1}$

Team Careers360 10th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{CC_{1}}+\frac{1}{AA_{1}}=\frac{1}{BB_{1}}$


Solution :
In $\triangle AA_{1}C$ and $\triangle BB_{1}C$
$BB_1 \left |  \right |AA_1$
$\frac{BB_1}{AA_1}=\frac{B_1C}{AC}$............(equation 1)
In $\triangle ACC_{1}$ and $\triangle ABB_{1}$
$BB_1 \left |  \right |CC_1$
⇒ $\frac{BB_1}{CC_1}=\frac{AB_1}{AC}$
⇒ $\frac{BB_1}{CC_1}=\frac{AC-B_1 C}{AC}$
⇒ $\frac{BB_1}{CC_1}=1-\frac{B_1 C}{AC}$
Putting the value from equation 1, we get:
$\frac{BB_1}{CC_1}=1-\frac{BB_1}{AA_1}$
⇒ $BB_1[\frac{1}{CC_1}+\frac{1}{AA_1}]=1$
⇒ $\frac{1}{CC_{1}}+\frac{1}{AA_{1}}=\frac{1}{BB_{1}}$

Question : Raj's income is Rs. 45,000 and his expenditure is Rs. 33,000. If his income is increased by 20% and expenditure by 12%, then what will be the percentage increase in savings?

Option 1: 48%

Option 2: 56%

Option 3: 36%

Option 4: 42%

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 42%


Solution : Given: Income = Rs. 45000
Expenditure = Rs. 33000
So, savings = (45000 – 33000) = Rs. 12000
After a 20% increase in income, the net income
= $(45000+45000×\frac{20}{100})$
= $54000$
After a 12% increase in expenditure, the new expenditure
= $(33000+33000×\frac{12}{100})$
= $36960$
